Line 40:
A scute is a thick plate made of a material such as keratin or chitin which acts as a shield. Osteoderms can fall under the definition of scute in real life, but on Sagan 4 they are defined separately for the sake of having a distinction. Some real-world organisms which have scutes include turtles, ticks, and birds.
 
Examples: Some [[Turtsnappersturtsnappers]], [[tam]]s, some [[sauceback]]s
